HP Notebook - 15-af113cl (ENER
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

i have downloaded the appropriate drivers for my conversion of this machine from windows 10 to win 7, but for some reasons that i cannot diagnose,

 

1. the wireless driver install it seems correctly, but it does not appear in the device manage and/or want to appear in the list of available networks

 

2. it took a while, but i finally noticed that the AMD video driver was not installed even though it seeemed to go through the install without a hitch. i only noticed when i tried to install google earth, and discoverd that i could not get direct x 9c, and work in true color mode . . .  i tried to run the AMD catalyst setup, but no luck there.

 

any ideas on what is going on?

Hi:

 

See if these drivers work...

 

Graphics:

 

This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.
